Sorry to hear of your pain @My1stCadillac That is sad. I sure hope this one works........

:) So with my truly open pipes it really will be insanely loud. :) I'm considering it since I still have the valves and can calm things down when necessary. I can hardly wait..........

I finally found the truck equivalent. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/04/gmc-sierra-extra-big-bed-debuts-for-those-who-want-a-real-work-truck/

Even with the valves open, stock muffler reduces the sound. My custom bypass mufflers are louder, but not by much. @A Blackwing - i know its subjective, but how much louder is your car with the headers + stock muffler compared to stock everything ? Kooks without cats is the only thing left to...

@Jameson's Viggen - glad this worked out !! Understand you're no EV enthusiast, but it serves the purpose and saves the real jewel - and its free !! Its fantastic that the recent glut of EVs handed you this deal !! I doubt any of us are in the save-the-whales EV camp, but they really do offer...

I know there are many threads on brakes, but simply using ceramic pads on plain ol' steel rotors also eliminates the dust doesn't it ? I haven't swapped them yet since I don't drive it that often, but when I do, this will be the next thing I do to the car. OP - threads on exhaust here too...

The virtual CC feature of CapitalOne is great. I was blown away that nobody else (I thought) offered it. Discover has stood by me since their initial debut in the 80's, but now all my subscriptions use the CapitalOne virtual CC feature after Discover claimed "fraud" and gave me new CC numbers...

#1 - I've gotten random rev-match style throttle blips when approaching a stop several times. Gave up trying to figure it out, and never considered taking it to the dealer. That Ultima RS is fascinating. I didn't know they existed. How much are they ?

I voted ZL1 because I love that V8 sound track. Do NOT get the 1LE package - it is far too brutal for DD.

Sorry to hear about your catastrophic failure. It hurts just thinking about it !!

Don't know how i missed this thread yesterday. I was shocked at how long we were silent - and had my doubts it was coming back. Glad we're back indeed !

I did the LexisNexis account lock. Hopefully that can contain any damage done.

Thankfully my kids were old enough to be out of the car seats when I got my 5th gen Camaro. 4DR VETT was my license plate. Unfortunately, at the time, Texas did not allow enough space for both Ts or the space, so people thought I was a veterinarian. FMLY VETT would have been a great plate for...

Now that would be an interesting thread. There were a couple of good routes posted in our Schertz Texas thread for Central Texas. At least the Rambler's Rally is reasonably priced. Road & Track sponsors this Tail of the Dragon tour - but its' over $10,000 ...

I would have ordered one already, except I don't seem to be able to use my reward points to pay for it. It's frustrating and ironic. Frustrating first because spending such huge $$$ on a car earns so few points. But I resolved that a couple of nice hats/shirts would be fine. Now I can't even...

Today the car effectively has straight pipes, other than the cats, yet in loud mode you can easily converse with passengers. You can always hear it, but just enough to realize its there. So I don't regret it. Nothing could be loud enough for me though. F1 from 2012 might be a little much for...

I knew it would have lots of room left after redlining 5th, but how much faster can it go with the loss in momentum after the shift into 6th ? I haven't had room to test it myself. :)

V-Mode double tap does not work if you have the softest suspension setting in your V-Mode config. Very inconvenient.........

I did not have to watch any comparison videos to pick a winner. The Caddy is the only new vehicle available in this country with 8 cylinders, 4 doors, and 3 pedals. :)

The Twisted Sisters route above is a MUST drive. I have a thread from nearly a year ago where I whacked a rock and ended up spending $2K on a new front wheel and tire. Take the "Fallen Rock" signs seriously............ If you're coming down 281 all the way from Dallas or from Austin, take this...
